Chair & Furniture Casters for Hardwood
Floors |
|
Many home owners and
businesses are tearing out carpeting and installing wood floors. To protect
these floors you need to use a soft wheel. Although most recommendations are
for a soft rubber wheel on hardwood, a soft polyurethane caster wheel can also
be used on hardwood floors. The wheels on our furniture casters for hardwood
floors will not mark or scratch the floors.
|
Our
selection offers 5 different styles to fit most decors. Each lettered
description here will match a lettered box further down this page. Click on the
corresponding pictures in the boxes A, C, D & E to get detailed information
on that product.
|
A. The Black Hooded Twin Wheel
Caster is available with 50mm Polyurethane Wheels. This caster will work well
on either hard floor surfaces or short pile carpet. It will not mark or scratch
any hardwood floors.
|
C. The Black Oxide Caster has a
ball bearing swivel and a Non-Marking dark gray soft rubber wheel. It is
recommended for any hard floor surface such as hardwood, ceramic tile, marble,
cement, extra thick plastic mats. The wheel is 2" x 3/4" wide. The metal body
has a black oxide finish.
|
D. The Casters with Twin Soft
Rubber Wheels are a popular choice. They are available with 2" wheels ( 50mm ),
2 3/8" wheels ( 60mm) and 3" wheels ( 75mm ). The soft rubber wheels neither
scratch nor mark hard wood or any hard floor surface. Available in Black or Two
Tone Gray.
|
E. The Chrome Caster, our Elite
series, offers both soft rubber wheels for hardwood floors and a stylish
polyurethane wheel which can be used on either hardwood floors or carpeting.
The soft rubber wheel is available in both 2" and 3" diameters. Although we do
not recommend any caster for a SOFT WOOD floor such as Pine, the Elite series
with it's extra soft rubber wheels has been used successfully on SOFT WOOD
floors.

Some
casters on this page are sold in both 50mm and 60mm sizes. This is a comparison
between the two different sizes. Casters on most chairs and furniture have 50mm
wheels and work fine for most applications. If you require additional capacity
or are going to roll on carpet, you may want to consider the 60mm
size.

Chair Caster
Selection |
|
If your weight is between 350 lbs and 500 lbs, our Mr. Big
Caster may be your best choice. It only comes with nylon wheels and will
require a thick mat to protect wood floors. Nylon wheels are the best material
when rolling directly on carpet but carpet wear can not be avoided. For more
information, and to order, click

This chart is designed to help you select a Chair
Caster. We take into consideration the weight of the person and the floor
surface that the wheel will roll on. We also give you our "Opinion" on "Easy
Rolling". Easy Rolling is a subjective label determined by "OUR" experience.
You may come to a different conclusion.
We do not recommend any wheel to
roll on soft wood, cork, or hard wood with a rating below 1360 on the Janka
Scale. Casters with soft rubber wheels provide the best floor protection for
hard wood floors. "Engineered" hard wood flooring has a thin wood veneer bonded
to a substrate material. We recommend that the hard wood veneer be at least
1/4" thick if the caster wheel is soft rubber, and 1/2" thick if the caster
wheel is polyurethane. We advise that you consult with the manufacturer of the
flooring before using casters on their product. We can not guarantee that the
substrate of "Engineered" flooring will not compress. All that we warranty is
the construction and quality of our casters.
Match the colored boxes to
the different casters as you scroll down this page.

Elite Chrome Casters with
Rubber & Polyurethane Tires |
If your weight exceeds 200
lbs, we suggest you consider using casters with at least 3" diameter wheels. 3"
diameter wheels roll easier than 2" diameter wheels. Polyurethane and Soft
Rubber wheels are floor protective. Polyurethane rolls easier but is less
resilient. |
Please read the Features & Benefits below before
selecting a Chair Caster:
- Designed for frequent movement on an Executive or
Clerical chair.
- Grip Ring Stem size is 7/16"
Diameter x 7/8" Long
- Soft rubber wheels will protect
any hard floor surface: hardwood, ceramic tile, marble, cement or extra thick
plastic mats.
- Select polyurethane for carpet
or hard floors.
- The Crown Tread on the wheels enhance the ability to
swivel or change direction.
- Precision sealed ball bearing in the wheel provides easy
rolling and never needs maintenance.
- The swivel bearing has two heat treated raceways for easy
swiveling and long caster life.
- Bright chrome finish gives a clean, elegant
appearance.
- The Black Extra Soft Rubber wheels are available in 2" or
3" diameter and provide an extra cushion ride.
- Gray Soft Rubber wheels are available in 2" or 3"
diameter and are recommended for hard floors.
- Polyurethane wheels are available in 2" and 3" diameter.
2" are recommended only for hard floor surfaces. 3" polyurethane wheels can be
used on either hard floors or carpet.
- We do not warrant any wheel for
a SOFT WOOD Floor. However, in many instances the Elite Caster with a Black
Extra Soft Rubber wheel has performed without harming the soft wood.
